Overview

About 2a

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

2a is a four-bedroom detached house in Hemel Hempstead (HP3 0DG). It has a recorded floor area of 149 m² (around 1604 sq ft) and council tax band G. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since November 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £1,103,000 sits 83.8% above the 1998 sale of £600,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£374/sq ft) was about 22.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 149 m² it sits well below the postcode median (219 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 74% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2a is modelled from its 149 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP3 0DG. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 2a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 2a was lodged in November 2010 at band C and expired in November 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 2a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP3 0DG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2a is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
